PMI’S PROGRAM IN SIERRA LEONE
The U.S. President’s Malaria Initiative (PMI) provides vital financial and technical assistance that enables the Government of Sierra Leone to deploy lifesaving interventions proven to fight malaria.
PMI is a critical funding source for insecticide-treated nets, malaria diagnosis and treatment, entomological monitoring, and more. PMI investments also support stronger, more-resilient health systems. For example, PMI provides financial incentives and support for 25% of all health workers, focusing on the most remote and hard to reach districts.
PMI Sierra Leone’s fiscal year 2023 budget was $16 million. PMI investments support and build on those made by the Government of Sierra Leone, in coordination with other stakeholders. PMI investments are detailed in the Malaria Operational Plan for Sierra Leone,** which was developed in consultation with the National Malaria Control Program, other donors, and technical organizations. Planned PMI activities reflect national and PMI strategies, draw on best-available data, and align with the country context and health system.
